Have you ever bought a shampoo, looked at the ingredients on the back, and just started wondering...what the heck are all these chemicals? Are they safe? WHY are all these in here?
These next series of videos are meant to explain the ingredients that go into shampoo and conditioners, what they do, and why they're there.
This is Part 1: Surfactants. What are they? Why are these detergents in your shampoo? Are they safe? Which surfactants should you avoid? Are sulfates the same thing as surfactants? I answer all these questions and more in this video.
I want you to be as educated as possible when shopping for your hair care products. I also want to separate hype from facts.
